Hi there and Welcome to Day 5! I have really enjoyed sharing my CAS creations with you all this week and I have truly appreciated all the wonderful comments that you have written me...Yesterday I wrote that about making a fun New Year gift and with one of Unity's newest kits...

Spark by Graciellie Design...when I saw this kit I knew it would be perfect for a New Year Gift...

With a new year comes changes ( good and bad sometimes too) and new beginnings...when I saw the caterpillar and butterfly in this kit and the beautiful sentiments in this kit this is what I ended up making for a friend of mine...she has had a rough school year so far and I am hoping with the new year things will get better for her...the two sentiments I have chosen for this project I feel will remind her that no matter what happens tomorrow is a new day...

For the background I used watercolor paper that I buy from Michael's and black StazOn to stamp the caterpillar, butterfly, and sentiment and once again I used my aqua painter to paint the caterpillar and buttefly...I adhered the calendar using double sided tape...for the butterfly, two of the leaves, and the branch I stamped on the paper and then stamped again on another piece of water color paper and then "fussy cut" them and then used puffy dots to adhere them onto the paper...

Once again I did the same thing here like I did with the branch and some of the leaves on the background of the calendar..

I stamped the inside of the card with StazOn...

I really liked how it all turned out...as you call can tell I am definitely a CAS kind of gal when it comes to my creations...my friends often tell me that they are "Simply Sweet"

Make sure to leave a comment for a chance to win 25 stamps from Unity...please check back tomorrow to see who won...I will make a blog post to announce the winner

Hi there and Welcome back to Day 3! As I wrote yesterday tis' the season of making gift for friends...well I have another gift idea for your friends who love wine...I have several gal pals whom I love to sit around with to share a bottle or two...sometimes three! We have great conversations and lots of laughter...so for those occasions Unity's wine stamps are a perfect pair for their gifts...

Here is the latest wine stamp that I have added to my collection...

Friends I Can't Forget by Angie Blom...

My friends love receiving wine bottle tags and coasters (this time just coasters...come back for more tomorrow! )...the coasters I use are corkscrew ones from Amazon and I use StazOn black ink...no it doesn't run when it get wet!

For the notecard I used watercoloring paper...I am a big fan of using aqua pens and watercolors these days...

Make sure you come back tomorrow to check out another fun wine stamp and gift idea!
